About the journal
|
Second Language Research publishes theoretical and experimental papers concerned with second language acquisition and second language performance.
In addition to providing a forum for investigators in the field of non-native language learning, it seeks to promote interdisciplinary research which links acquisition studies to related non-applied fields such as:
- Neurolinguistics
- Theoretical linguistics
- First language developmental psycholinguistics
Each volume includes one special guest-edited number focusing on a current theme and specially commissioned review articles addressing major issues in the field, forming a useful resource for the research community.
Recent review articles have dealt with:
- The benefits of using on-line psycholinguistic testing techniques
- The contribution of the study of specific L2s to the general development of the field
- Recent research into the second language acquisition of aspect

Instructions to Authors
Article Submission
Contributions should be sent to:
The Editors Second Language Research Department of Languages School of Management and Languages Heriot Watt University Riccarton Edinburgh EH14 4AS UK
Email: slr@hw.ac.uk
Articles should normally be between 4000 and 8000 words in length.
Where possible, in the first instance, an electronic copy of the manuscript should be submitted as an e-mail attachment in PC-compatible format. Combine every part of the manuscript into one single file . The first page of the text should carry the title of the article without the name of the author (see also section on Anonymity below).
Manuscripts should have a separate title page with the author's name, full postal address and e-mail address . This can be part of the same single file (see above) but, if the file is in pdf format, then this should be sent as a separate file. Pdf format may be the most convenient format for submissions that contain special characters or graphics.
Anonymity
Submissions must be submitted in a format which will allow anonymous reviewing of the manuscript.
The author's name(s) should not be included in headers or footers or in any part of the file (such as in 'Properties') which can reveal her/his/their identity. Use double spacing throughout, including notes, appendices and references. Each article must be accompanied by an abstract of about 200 words. (If you cannot send an electronic copy, send three hard copies of the manuscript, typed on one side of the paper only, to the above address.)
All books for the review articles should be sent to the review editor:
Elizabeth Thoday, Editorial Assistant, Second Language Research, School of Management & Languages, Henry Prais Building, Heriot Watt University, Riccarton, EDINBURGH EH14 4AS UK Fax: +44 (0)131 4513079
Article presentation
Your paper should be submitted in double-spaced typescript and on disk.
The disk
Please submit on disk as well as on paper. Please ensure that your file is in PC compatible format and matches the final version of your paper (i.e., not necessarily your initial submission).
The file
Microsoft Word is the preferred word processor. No artwork should be included in the text files. Any artwork provided on disk should be in either TIFF, or EPS format. Each piece of artwork should be saved as a separate file. When preparing your paper:
- Use the minimum formatting
- Roman, bold and italic type can be used, but use only one typeface and size
- Capitals should be used only where they are to appear in the finished text
- The text should be ranged left and unjustified, with hyphenation cancelled
- Indents, underlining and tabs should be avoided unless absolutely necessary
- Headings and paragraphs should be separated by two carriage returns
- There should be only one space between words and only one space after
any punctuation
The title page
Give the title of the paper and a running title if the main title is very long. Authors should include their names and initials, their posts at the time they did the work and their current appointments and qualifications. The name and address of the author to whom correspondence, proofs and offprint order are to be sent should be given, together with telephone and fax numbers if possible.
Style
Please follow (or ask your typist to follow) these notes:
(i) Use 'z' not 's' where there is an alternative, and in general follow the first variant given by the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary (e.g. realize, idealize, analyse, advertise).
(ii) Use SI units.
(iii) Dates: '16 January 1992' not 'January 16, 1992'.
(iv) Numbers: adopt a rule that all number under 10 should be spelt out in letters except where attached to a unit of quantity (e.g., 1 mm or 3 kg), and that all number of 10 or more should be rendered in digits except where the context makes this awkward (e.g., use spelt-out forms at the beginning of a sentence).
(v) Capitalization: avoid excessive capitalization. For titles of books and articles, capitals should be used for the initial letter of the first word only. For the titles of journals and series, the initial letter of all principal words should be capitalized.
(vi) Italics: use italics for emphasis very sparingly.
(vii) Abbreviations: the initial letter of abbreviations should be typed with no full point (e.g., UK, UNESCO, BBC). Abbreviations in which the last letter of the abbreviation is the same as the last letter of the word should also have no full point (e.g., Mr, St, but no., Str., etc.).
Headings
In dividing articles under headings, please weight your headings by writing A, B, C etc. in the margin of the page:
A: subheading numbered I, II, III etc. B: subsubheading numbered 1, 2, 3 etc. C: subsubsubheading numbered a, b, c etc.
Please avoid using more than three weights of subheading.
Illustrations
All maps, diagrams figures and graphs should be submitted in the form of completed artwork suitable for reproduction. they should be separate from the typescript, with a list of captions on a separate sheet, but their place in the text should be marked.
(i) Line diagrams: no illustration (including caption) will be given more space than the text area of the journal page i.e., 185 mm x 115 mm. Where possible, all figures should be drawn for the same reduction.
Drawings should be on stiff white paper, white card or a drawing material such as kodatrace. All lines in a drawing should be of even weight. If tints are required the letraset range is the most suitable. Do not use too fine a tint as this may result in a blotchy appearance after reduction. Lettering should be of a draughtsman standard. It should also be of even weight and should follow the usual typographical style.
(ii) Photographs: photographs do not have to be of a constant reduction. The degree of reduction should, however, be marked on the back, and any areas which are not required should also be marked. The limitations as to size are the sam for diagrams. The prints should be high-quality glossy prints, showing as much contrast as possible.
Tables
Tables should be typed on separate sheets. Indicate in the margin of the text where the tables should be placed.
Footnotes
Footnotes should be kept to a minimum. They should be numbered consecutively with superior numbers and should be typed double-spaced on separate pages, following the main text. A title-page footnote is used to give the address for correspondence.
References
References should follow the Harvard system. In the typescript references should be indicated by giving the author's name and the year of publication (with page references where necessary). For example:
'...according to Koster (1987: 144)...'
'There is empirical evidence for the semantic attraction hypothesis, coming from English (Emonds, 1978) and French (Chomsky, 1988; Pollock, 1988)...'
The references should be listed in full at the end of the article double-spaced, in alphabetical order and in the following form:
(a) Journal article: Sportiche, D. 1988: A theory of floating quantifiers and its corollaries for constituent structure. Linguistic Enquiry 19, 425-49.
(i.e. no quote marks round the title of the article and minimum capitalization).
(b) Book: Liceras, J.M. 1986: Linguistic theory and second language acquisition. Tubingen: Gunter Narr.
(c) Article in a book: Wexler, K. and Manzini, R. 1987: Parameters and learnability in binding theory. In Roper, T. and Williams, E., editors, Parameter setting, Dordrecht: Reidel, 221-39.
Notes
(i) Please indicate in brackets at the end of the references the number of pages in mimeographed articles and publications.
(ii) If several papers by the same author and from the same year are cited, a, b, c etc. should be added to the year of publication (e.g., 1972a; 1972b etc.).
(iii) The use of the phrase et al. (= et alia) to indicate multiple authorship is permissible in the text, but not in the list of references, where all names should be given. (iv) No journal titles should be abbreviated. If in exceptional circumstances any abbreviations are used, then they should be listed at the beginning of the references.
Copyright
Authors must obtain permission to reproduce all copyright material. EU copyright extends to 70 years after the death of the author or 70 years after publication of a scholarly edition.
Proofs
Proofs will be supplied only once in the form of page proofs. Please remember that:
(i) Proof corrections are disproportionately expensive. For example, the insertions of three commas on a page will frequently cost as much, or more than, the original setting cost of the entire page.
(ii) If you return proofs even a few days after the date stipulated, it may be too late to include your corrections in the final version of the journal.
Offprints
The author (or principal author for multi-authored papers) will receive 25 free offprints of his/her article. Extra copies can be ordered from the publisher at proof stage for a small charge.
